    Gender aspect of international academic mobility of Russian scientists
    (2019)
    Malakhov, V.A.
    This paper examines to what extent the participation of Russian researchers in international academic mobility vary by gender. Based on the analysis of bibliometric data of the Web of Science system (2008—2017) we identified more than 3000 Russian researchers participating in the international scientific migration. This includes both researchers permanently working abroad and scientists working outside of Russia temporarily. All scientists were sorted by their science research focus and the country of residence (permanent or temporal). A gender analysis was carried out for the resulting database. The results of the analysis showed that academic world of female scientists is less international than that of their male colleagues. Women are especially underrepresented in STEM disciplines, but even in the social sciences and humanities the share of women among researchers working abroad is less than among scientists who have stayed in Russia. The low level of participation of women in international academic mobility is due to the asymmetric distribution of family obligations at later career stages, as well as the low representation of women researchers in STEM disciplines, and it is Russian STEM-researchers (especially physics and mathematics) who are most in demand on the international labor market. The paper argues that it is necessary to improve support programs for international academic mobility, as well as create mechanisms aimed at encouraging women to pursue academic careers. © 2019 Ivanovo State University Publishing.

    Gender disparities in Russian academia: a bibliometric analysis Open PDF

    The problem of gender disparities in various areas of society has long been well known and identified in most countries. Russian academia is no exception. This paper describes the representation of Russian men and women authors in terms of research production. The analysis is based on 121,953 papers with at least one Russian author, covered by Web of Science (WoS) and published between 2017 and 2019. The results demonstrate that there are still evident signs of gender disparities. Women remain underrepresented in their overall presence and performance almost in all disciplines and generally in academia. In all research fields, women’s mean number of publications is lower than analogous indicators for men. Although some areas have relative gender parity and even more women authors, the gap between both genders remains stable for most disciplines. As a result, despite some improvements in women’s research performance, Russian academia is the case, demonstrating that without a gender policy in both Russian political and science systems, it is complicated to eliminate gender inequality. © 2022, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.

    Publication trajectory discontinuity – Is there gender difference?
    (2019)
    Dyachenko, E.
    ;
    Mironenko, A.
    The study presents an analysis of publication breaks – long periods between consecutive publications in researchers’ publication trajectories. Empirical analysis uses data on a sample of Russian medical researchers, but the questions asked and the approach suggested are of wider appeal. We investigate how common the breaks are in publication trajectories, and what is the context of the breaks. Particular focus of the study is on difference between female and male researchers. The issues raised could bring some insights into discussion on gender performance gap in science. © 2019 17th International Conference on Scientometrics and Informetrics, ISSI 2019 - Proceedings.
